I hate eating

27% Normal

I. Hate. Eating. I'm not anorexic, I'm normal. This year, I started hating food, I have no favorite food or anything. I wake up at one and I drink a little something to give me energy for the day. At four, I'll get a little snack, then my grandpa starts yelling at my telling me to wait until dinner and when I'm older I'll be fat bla, bla, bla, the usual. Then I'll go in my room to cry a little bit, but everytime I get up I always feel so dizzy. It's dinner time, I nag about how disgusting the food is and my grandma tells me what do I like to eat and that I'm picky, I have nothing to say to her because I simply hate food. My grandpa then tells me if I don't like it then I don't have to eat it, he tells me he'll take me to my mom's house and see how I like it over there because there's nothing to eat there. I kinda like it at my moms, I don't have to eat anything, I can drink soda to give me energy and fill me up. I noticed that I'm getting skinnier, I just don't have the appetite to eat. I'm always getting head aches. I only go poop once a week, sometimes once every two weeks, when I do go, it hurts and I'm in there for hours, crying. I start bleeding, too, my grandma says that's because I'm not eating right. Is this normal, isn't the question. I know it isn't, but I really want to know what's wrong and how to fix it. How do I get my appetite back?

You should seriously see a doctor. You are super unhealthy. If you like to drink over eating try smoothies and other wholesome drinks instead of soda. If you are going to rear anything, it should be fruit and veggies, you may not crave them, but they are just necessities for your body. I will be praying for you, but please see a doctor about this, it seems very serius.

I completely understand some of this. I too hate eating. I don't like the taste of food, or the texture. I get no enjoyment out of anything I eat. With that said, I force myself to eat up to 6 small meals a day. I call them meals, but they really aren't. Example: My morning starts with an Ensure Meal replacement drink and a big ass cup of tea. (Truly the only thing I love and want all the time). At 1030, I make an English muffin with butter. For lunch I munch on raw veggies and fruits. At 3 I have another cup of tea and have a handful nuts. For dinner, I make a salad and eat some form of meat in a very small portion (2 oz. max). Before head I eat a banana.

Do I enjoy that food. Hell no! I hate it. But I also know that I have to eat something.

But I also wonder about why I hate food. I've asked my doctor, who sent me to a psychiatrist. We never found out why. And I stopped going after a year of no answers.

My guess, the same reason why people are "foodies" is the same reason other simply HATE food.

Cheers

I'm not anorexic, I'm normal.(Denial)

At four, I'll get a little snack,(Eating)

my grandpa starts yelling at my telling me to wait until dinner and when I'm older I'll be fat bla, bla, bla, the usual. (Smart man)

everytime I get up I always feel so dizzy. (Diabetes?)

I nag about how disgusting the food is (Spoiled and rude)

my grandma tells me what do I like (Not so smart)

I simply hate food. (In this story you clearly just hate certain kinds of food. Push for alternatives you enjoy, but are healthy enough to convince your grandfather to let you eat.)

I can drink soda (You'll regret it when your older and have cavities.)

I'm always getting head aches. (Malnutrition?)

I only go poop once a week, (TMI, Also see a doctor immediately.)

  I'd talk about rude if I were you. Why don't you get off your high horse, and try to see things from someone else's point of view. I can relate to this story. I too have trouble eating. I literally have to force myself to eat every freaking day. I wake up, I feel sick, so I have to force something down. The whole time I'm eating I feel nauseous, even though I rarely ever throw up (maybe once a month). You try eating when the whole time you feel sick just at the thought of food. It's not easy. And it is possible to hate all foods. I do. However I do like soft drinks, and cavities aren't the end of the world. I'll gladly trade my teeth for my soda considering it's the only thing in the world that tastes good to me. I've been to the doctor countless times over my stomach, and they can't find a thing wrong with me, so finally I just quit trying. What's the point? As humiliating as it is to admit I too can't go number 2. Every 4 days I have to take laxative or I don't go. Period. I once went almost a month without going (maybe longer, it took me quite awhile to realize I hadn't been going), went to the doctor, and they were no help. Pretty much gave me this look like they didn't believe me. When I finally did go a huge chunk the size of a softball (not baseball, SOFTBALL!) came out. No joke. Took me 3 hours straight just to get it out, and that was after days of taking laxatives and everything else I could think of to try. I hate to think what the laxatives are doing to my insides, but if I don't take them I don't go, and I don't want to relive that nightmarish experience, would you? I am 31, and currently just slightly underweight (this is according to my doctor), which is pretty much where I've been my whole life. I realize that I am far from the picture of health, but I do what I HAVE to do to get by. I realize that your comment is over 5 years old, and you'll likely never read it, but I had to chime in nonetheless. This person was looking for help, and you pretty much equated her problem to being nothing more than a spoiled brat who needs to suck it up. Just because you don't understand a person's problem doesn't make that problem any less valid.

    Oh calm down. All the effort you put into that essay like you're getting paid or graded on it. I think he's right. I don't think we should be sissies towards anybody for any reason because it just doesn't help anybody with any issue. YOUR problems are also no fault of the world and the world doesn't need to adjust as a result, wake up and realise this.

You need to stop listening to your grandpa because he sounds mean (maybe tell him that) and try forcing yourself to eat in the mornings even if its just a slice or two of toast.
If I dont eat in the mornings I dont get an appetite at all and forget to eat.
This worked for me anyways..

You might have a phsycological problem. I would suggest you go see a nutrtitionist and a psyciatrist.

Yes emotional and internal depression can often make u not hungry and almost sick to the stomach butttt it us important to eat something and pooping is probably more important bc is gets rid on toxic waist in our bodies and if u don't release this often enough u can get very sick and maybe end up having colon problems that can be very serious. Foods w fiber would be good to eat. Maybe try smokin a lol weed to get some type of appetite that's what I did I had a similar situation!!

"Before head I eat a banana."

Well, at least you make eating seem kind of fun.

I hate eating also. I do think pizza and pasta dishes are tasty but I still would not eat them if I was not required.

Food sucks, I have pretty bad stomach acid and when I would not eat my throat would burn and hurt. Taking generic prilosec daily stopped this but I still hate food.

Most days I eat a biscuit for breakfast and a small meal for dinner(think lunch portions). Occasionally I do skip breakfast and eat a normal persons dinner but with only one meal a day I get tired and sleep 14 hours a day.

I Can not eat lettuce or most vegetables not because of the taste as most people assume but because of the slimy texture.

Even more strange, I hate hate hate hate hate hate sweet food. To me sucking on that butterscotch candy is like sucking on a lemon. I hate cake, I hate ice cream, I hate cookies, I hate candy.

I hate fat people too, they have it easy and just chow down whatever and even ENJOY doing it.

Crying when you poop? Not a good sign. I'd say you need more fiber in your diet, and that means you should eat more in general. If you're just eating bits of junk food, that's also not good.

Try new foods! I'm serious. Ask your parents to try lots of things. See if you like anything. Start with fruit, so you can get some fiber.

Please don't go to see a doctor. You will just be wasting their time and stopping somebody else that needs to see him.

Just eat. Do some exercise to work up an appetite.

If you don't eat, you'll eventually die a very horrible death and leave the world having done nothing worth remebering.

I don't like eating either but you just gotta suck it up and do it. Sux, I know but just try and eat fast...get it over with. Snack healthy, avoid soda...it'll rot your teeth. Good luck!
